Click the "Add subtitles" button. Please note that Freemake subtitles freeware doesn’t contain the subs files. It’s up to you to find them online or to create a corresponding text file with a special subtitles maker. The supported formats are SRT, ASS, SSA. If your film is in the foreign language, you can integrate a written translation into it to enjoy the movie with the original sound.

As soon as you got a subs file, return to Freemake tool. Pay attention to the signs next to your movie thumbnail. Find the “No subtitles” button that goes right after the audio settings. Click on it and select the “Add subtitles” option.

Then choose the file that you want to put into your film. Click on the scissors button to run Freemake editor. Preview the video with the embedded subtitles. Please note that the result will be with hardsubs. It means the text will be permanently presented so you won’t be able to switch the subs on/off.

Embed subtitles to video

Set a folder for your media. By default, it will be saved to “My videos” folder. In case you don’t have enough of disk space, limit the file size of your clip. Just click on the weight button and set the necessary output size.
When everything is ready, click the “Convert” button to run the embedding process and attach subtitles to your movies.

To say even more:

Freemake app also lets you change subtitles font and size. However, to use this option, you will need to install Freemake Subtitles Pack. When you do it, paste your subtitles into a movie and go to Freemake editor to change text font and size with respective buttons. Then follow the how-to steps above to combine your video and subs.

If you regularly make and upload your clips, the best way to protect them from stealing is adding a text watermark available in Freemake Gold Pack. This option will let you type a short sentence (32 symbols) that will be shown throughout your clip. As soon as you install the Gold Pack, a new button will appear next to an added file.

In case you don’t want the subtitles to appear right on the movie image, change the film resolution for a bigger one. The app will add black borders to your clip and thus the subs will appear on the black background.
